EARLY STRAIN 
Korean Lespedeza $2.90 per Bu. (25 Ibs.) 
Also Known as Lespedeza Strain No. 19604 
Grows Tall—Matures Earlier 
This strain of Lespedeza can be grown farther north with better success 
than the regular Korean. 
It matures quite a bit earlier. 
Being earlier, it has 
a better chance to mature seed and reseed itself and provide a cash seed crop. 
Early Korean is an annual and if sown fairly early in the spring will mature 
seed in the fall. Mr. Miner of Christian County, Illinois (in the central part 
of the state), is one of the pioneer growers of this early Korean in the 
state of Illinois. Mr. Miner reported this early strain made a growth of 
two feet during a dry summer. He claims it has yielded as much as 900 
lbs. of good seed per acre. This has also been sold as Early Giant Korean. 
Early Strain a Profitable Crop

other grasses are fading out. 
Stands heat and drought. 
In latter part 
of June and in July and August, this early Korean produces pasture when | 
Makes very fine hay. Has a leafy growth and 
almost equal to Alfalfa in feeding value. 
Sow this early maturing strain No. 
19604 farther north. Many testify it is the best. 
Method of Seeding ee . 
Can be sown broadcast or drilled. Sow on a good firm seed bed. Do not 
cover seed much. A very light covering is the best. 
You can sow seed on 
top of ground where you have a fall grain crop. After sowing, roll the land. 
When sown with spring grains roll the ground. Sow about 15 to 18 lbs. 
per acre. For a seed crop some sow about 5 lbs. per acre, in rows, and cul- 
tivate it. 
8 to 10 lbs. per acre. 
It may be sown in early spring in old worn out pasture, using

Sericea Lespedeza 
A Tall Grower—A Perennial 
This: type grows much taller than 
Korean. Is very leafy. Grows without 
lime. Is drought resistant. High feed- 
ing value. 
over winters in latitude of the southern 
part of Wisconsin and Michigan. 
Sericea grows slowly the first year 
sending up a single stem. It throws out 
more stems from the crown each year. 
The strong tap root of Sericea pene- 
trates the stiffest soils. It branches out 
and loosens the heaviest soils, 
Sow only scarified seed. Does not 
stand as much frost as Korean. Sow 
late in the spring, about April 10th to 
20th if weather and soil conditions are 
satisfactory. Sow about 8 or 10 lbs. per 
acre. Sow .on solid seed bed. Just 
barely cover the seed. Good plan to sow 
and just use roller. See page 15 in our 
Star Bargain Catalog for further in-

Korean is a great Glover for poor thin 
land. Requires no liming. Over half 
million acres growing in corn belt last 
year. Frank Stephens down here in 
Illinois who has been growing it for over 
ten years says it is a life saver for the 
man with a worn out farm. Sown in 
early spring will reseed itself in the 
fall. Will mature seed even after plants 
have been killed by frost. It will resist 
more heat and drought than other clo- 
vers or grasses. When it reseeds itself 
it makes a heavier and taller growth 
each succeeding year. Makes a great 
pasture or hay crop. Can be sown with 
other clovers or grasses. Has similar 
characteristics of the Early Maturing 
Sow 18 to 20 Ibs. per acre.
